Developmental delay Support at Occupational Therapy — Across NSW
Occupational Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Occupational Therapy offers for developmental delay
Occupational Therapy at Across NSW supports children experiencing developmental delay by addressing fine motor skills—the small, precise movements needed for everyday activities like writing, buttoning clothes, and self-feeding. Fine motor difficulties often accompany developmental delay and can impact a child's independence and confidence in school and home settings. Our occupational therapists use targeted activities to build hand strength, coordination, and control. Examples include threading beads and pegboard tasks to develop finger dexterity, scissor practice with adaptive tools to improve cutting skills, and hand-strengthening exercises using playdough or resistance equipment. We also incorporate functional activities into play-based sessions, making therapy engaging for children. Occupational Therapy interventions are individualised based on each child's needs and goals. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply where eligible), though we work with families using various funding options. Across NSW occupational therapists collaborate with parents, educators, and other professionals to ensure strategies transfer into daily routines, supporting your child's development across multiple environments.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy for developmental delay?
If your child is experiencing delays in fine motor skills—such as difficulty holding a pencil, managing buttons, or using cutlery—an occupational therapy assessment can help identify specific areas of need. Our therapists work with your child's current abilities and goals. We recommend discussing concerns with your GP or early childhood educator, who can provide referrals. An initial consultation with Across NSW can clarify whether occupational therapy is appropriate for your situation.
Can occupational therapy diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder. However, our therapists can identify functional difficulties in fine motor skills, coordination, and daily living tasks that may be associated with developmental delay. If diagnostic assessment is needed, we can refer you to appropriate medical professionals whilst supporting your child's skill development through occupational therapy.
Does NDIS funding cover occupational therapy at Across NSW?
NDIS funding may be available for occupational therapy services if your child has an approved plan. Funding arrangements vary based on individual circumstances and 2025-26 pricing applies. We recommend contacting Across NSW directly to discuss your child's situation, funding options, and how we can support your family. We also work with families using private or other funding arrangements.
